Month: November 2022

I’ve only been at this company for five months in a horribly rushed, learned-nothing training program, a nitpicky, micromanaging boss, and the Director is now beside her reprimanding every single little thing I do. “Ask more questions!” (Gets talked down to and told “you should know this/this was in my vaguely worded email”) “You need to learn better!” (Tells them I’m more of a visual learner) “Well you aren’t a visual learner if nothing is sticking!” “108% is not overspending!” (Standard rate is 100 – 102% spend, got reprimanded after saying 108 is overspending) “Are you done yet?” Every five minutes. “Okay!

After she left I assumed…

Rant: For context I’m quitting this job because the pay is inconsistent and the pay is not enough because they have a funky pay scale. In theory it is suppose to work but in practice it does not. I gave them 2 weeks and a few days notice but they said it was company policy to give 4. I said I couldn’t because my new job’s cohort starts in two weeks or else I’ll have to wait 8 weeks to start the new job because of the holidays. The majority of my assignments were reassigned in a day so I now have nothing to do for 75% of the 40 hour work week.
